On Friday, the benchmark indices were dragged lower by growing concerns over the country`s widening fiscal deficit, coupled with negative global cues and profit booking in auto, metal and oil and gas stocks.

The wider Nifty50 declined by 104.75 points or 1.02 per cent to close at 10,121.80 points, while Sensex closed at 32,832.94 points -- down 316.41 points or 0.95 per cent.
